St. Francis
Liner notes
A reflective midwest emo track with driving guitars and earnest vocals about St. Francis, Wisconsin. The lyrics tell a story of a resilient community that stood its ground to incorporate in 1951, centered around the historic seminary grounds. It captures the quiet pride of the neighborhoods along East Howard Avenue and the enduring spirit of the town.
